Please help me decide - I am losing my mind!
Permalink Closed

Ok, so my birthday was last weekend and I now have some extra cash (woohooo).  I would like to treat myself to a new bag.  This will be my first *expensive* bag purchase (never spent over ~$200).  I was trying to limit myself to <$400, but that is not really working.  Anyway, please help me decide - I am SO scared to pick one for some reason.  And I am totally overanalyzing, so I apologize for the length!!


#1:  Kooba Alex Bag in Kelly Green ($420)



Positives:  I LOVE green and I LOVE the shape


Negatives:  Will I get sick of green?


#2:  Tammy Lyn Saddle Bag Medium in Eucalyptus ($430)



Positives:  I saw a woman carrying this bag yesterday, and it was gorgeous.


Negatives:  Looks like the Luxe Trigger....why not just get that one?


#3:  Bulga Medium Tote in Chocolate ($387) - I am really leaning towards this one



Positives:  Brown is a more versatile color and I really love this bag.


Negatives:  Backordered and is it too trendy?


#4:  Botkier Luxe Trigger Medium in White ($525)



Positives:  I LOVE this bag


Negatives:  It is a little more than I wanted to spend.

I voted for the Kooba.  It is a simple shape and an amazing color.

I voted for the Kooba. I don't believe in knockoffs...and the Botkier and Bulga are everywhere, it seems like. I think the Kooba will have the most staying power.

I voted for the Kooba--b.c. it's green (a bias sorry) and because I think the style will last the longest

I don't like the Bulga bag (for myself anyways) but I think it's the best choice out of all of them. The color is definitely nice. :)

The Bulga...more practical and very cute, especially for the money you are spending.

Bulga.  The color is versatile and the bag is beautiful.  It's one of those things that is a little trendy, but probably only among girls like us and celebrities versus a mass trend like the LV Murakami.

I love the Tammy Lyn bag, but then I'm also obsessed with Balenciaga...

I love the shape and color of the Bulga.  They are all great bags, but I think you will get more bang for your buck with the Bulga.  HTH and let us know what you decide!!

I love Botkier bags. I own two and they are the best purchases of my life. My brown small trigger (I bought this maybe 1.5/2 years ago?) has made me very happy and it will be with me for years, I'm sure.

Can I ask why your'e picking white? If you want a more versatile color, call the studio. They may have more in stock or will be making more. It may be worth the wait.

But out of all the bags from the list above in the colors above, I say get the Bulga.

Go for the Kooba, love the color.  It somethings you can carry for a long time and won't look dated.
